I am well into my christmas shopping now Grin . Just wondering if we can share any good reductions online for those early organisers. I got some lovely body lotion from L'occitaine last week 70% off plus a code for free shower gel and I've already used half a pot of one of the lotions already Blush but I just checked and it's finished Sad .

I remember last year I got a practically free tin of celebrations from viking direct via here and on the look out for bargains and was hoping people would share.

If you have someone who would like dove toiletries see this thread for £30 of free dove stuff from ocado (I've already ordered mine probably use it myself though

Oh no I am going to have to hide this thread for a while as just bought the GLTC beauty station. I have no Need For it but DD will
love it. It has inspired me to decorate her bedroom though

Playmobil School is half price in Argos. No good to me as I bought it for dd last year but others might find it useful.

fuzzpig · 11/09/2012 14:27

:o I'm strangely proud to have earned the name 'nemesis'!

SharonGless · 11/09/2012 14:33

Insanity / the reviews on amazon aren't great for it. What's the school like?

LaTrucha · 11/09/2012 14:33

Any chance of a link to the treasure chest? I looked, but couldn't find it at that price.

Pinkmumma · 11/09/2012 14:36

Previous year's playmobil advent calendars - £12-14

They also have lots of other Playmobil at what looks like knock down prices.

insanityscratching · 11/09/2012 16:31

Sharon it wasn't worth the £120 I paid last year but I think it's a decent buy for £60. Dd hasn't played with it for a while now tbh and I've dismantled it and put it in a box but it was well played with initially and then she removed a lot of stuff and put furniture in and used it as a house so dual purpose. It took a while to set up but was sturdy once done in any case. Dd really wanted it last year (she was 8) but I think she is at the upper end of it being an interest tbh. Playing school seems to lose it's appeal around then I think.

SharonGless · 11/09/2012 16:53

Thanks - I reserved it once but the reviews put me off
Dd is 4 and just started school so think she will like it.

lauraloo09 · 11/09/2012 18:31

I bought a Baby Alive doll for DD today out of b&m in Argos it's £49.99 got it today for £29.99 :)

LaTrucha · 11/09/2012 20:53

Thanks anyway. Smile

FreddoBaggyMac · 12/09/2012 06:50

Paper Jamz stuff is very good value on Amazon at the moment, have just ordered this to put away for DS.

Anyone with DDs may be excited to know there is a lego friends advent calendar!!

Does any one have any ideas on where I can buy a wooden advent calendar with drawers for a bargain price??

everydayaschoolday · 12/09/2012 07:36

Bargain price advent calendars but Studio 24 is not renowned for quality. Linking anyway:
